Of course, you are not so frivolous as to ignore sun protection in the summer. But there are several areas of the skin that are often overlooked.
1. Cleavage
Yes, when going to the beach, you carefully cover your entire body with sunscreen, milk or spray. By the way, our test will help you choose the texture that suits you personally.
But when you are going for a walk around the city, you will most likely provide only your face with sunscreen, forgetting about the decollete and shoulders areas exposed to the sun. And then, of course, you regret it.
Just in case, check yourself: do you know how to use sunscreen correctly?
For the décolleté area, SPF products are suitable for the face and body. The spray format is especially convenient.
Spray Solaire Lacté, SPF 30, Biotherm provides protection from the sun and moisturizes the skin, which is especially important for the décolleté area, which, as a rule, is also prone to dryness.
Sun protection light dry spray Sublime Sun “Protection and hydration”, SPF 30, L’Oréal Paris has a weightless texture, protects from ultraviolet radiation and helps to avoid some of its negative effects, as it contains a powerful antioxidant – vitamin E.
2. Hands
Hand cream is more often remembered in the cold winter, and few people think about sunscreen for hands. But the hands are one of the most defenseless areas before ultraviolet radiation: even clothes with long sleeves do not cover them. That is why age-related hyperpigmentation appears most quickly on the skin of the hands.
Of course, the palms are usually sufficiently provided with sunscreen, but it is important to take care of the whole hands, because in summer they are most often open.
In general, you already understood that a cream with SPF is simply necessary for hands too. Light milk, without leaving a sticky feeling, will provide them with hydration and nutrition.

3. Parting
Your scalp also needs UV protection, unless you’re wearing a hat or headscarf.
Here are some recommendations from Elena Eliseeva, medical expert of the Vichy brand, on how to protect the scalp from sun exposure.
Do your hair without parting. However, if the hair is thin and light, this method is ineffective.
Wear a hat or scarf.
Before going outside, spray your parting with an alcohol-free sunscreen spray with a dry application technology. It won’t stain your hair.
Solar Water Aloe Vera Clear Sun Spray, SPF 30, Garnier consists of two phases: oil and water. With the help of a complex of filters, it protects against ultraviolet radiation and is responsible for moisturizing.
4. Ears
Before entering the sea, apply the product in a stick to the skin of the ears and nose, because they often remain above the water and catch the sun’s rays reflected from its surface.
Stick for sensitive areas Anthelios XL, SPF 50+, La Roche-Posay includes soybean oil, castor oil. Reliably protects from the sun.
5. Lips
Lips are the area with the thinnest and most sensitive skin. Mineral pigments in lipstick do not provide sufficient protection from the sun, and besides, few people do makeup on the beach. So special lip balms with SPF are very useful, they will help to avoid dryness and peeling, which often appear in hot climates.
